Introduction
The Digital Display Series Wall Clocks are designed with 2-inch or 4-inch red LED displays that can be
viewed from great distances; the 4-inch model as far away as 100 feet, the 2-inch model from as far away
as 50 feet. The bright red display shows the hour and minutes and can be configured for a 12 or 24 hour
format. By the setting of internal DIP switches, the DDC Series Wall Clocks can be configured to run as
"stand-alone" or to replace many analog secondary clocks that may be hard to find or no longer available.
The DDC Series Wall Clocks can be synchronized from the Lathem LTR4-512 or LTR8-512 Master, LTR0
mini:master, Terminal Manager Software or the OMNI:CHRON Time Clock, using an RS485 correction
signal.
The DDC Series Wall Clocks with the optional DDC-TC Timer Control Panel allow the DDC Series Wall
Clocks to act as a count up or count down timer as well as displaying the normal time. The optional Timer
Control Panel is required to use this feature.
The DDC Series Wall Clocks can be mounted directly to a wall, to a single gang outlet box or, with
optional mounting kits, as double-faced units from the wall or ceiling.
During power failures, a 9-Volt alkaline battery (not supplied) can maintain the DDC Series Wall Clock's
internal time keeping (although the display is blank during power failures).
Clock Operation
When the Digital Display Series Wall Clocks are set to operate as stand-alone or synchronous wired
secondary clocks, the time base is derived from the AC power source. The frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) is
automatically detected when power is applied. The clocks then initialize to 12:00AM and maintain time by
counting the line frequency. Corrective clocks will begin synchronization routines. Accuracy is related
directly to the accuracy of the line frequency. With the DDC-TC option, the Digital Display Series Wall
Clocks can act as a count up or count down timer as well as running as a stand-alone or synchronous wired
secondary clock.
When the Digital Display Series Wall Clocks are set to operate as impulse secondary clocks, the master
clock controls time totally. Time will only advance when pulses are received from the master clock. Should
the master clock lose power, the wall clocks would hold at the time that the last pulse was received until
power to the master clock is restored and pulses continue. With the DDC-TC option, the Digital Display
Series Wall Clocks can act as a count up or count down timer as well as running as an impulse secondary
clock.

Configuring RS485 Communications - DDC2/4-RS Series
When multiple DDC2 (4)-RS Series Wall Clocks are installed as slave units to either the Lathem LTR4-
512 or LTR8-512 Master, LTR0 Mini-Master, Terminal Manager Software or the OMNI:CHRON Time
Clock, the last clock on the line must have a shunt installed over both pins at position J2 (see figure 2, page
9). When shipped, the shunt is placed over only one pin of position J2 in an "open" setting. It is necessary
to place the shunt over both pins of position J2 and create a "closed" setting for the last clock on the line.
DDC2-RS
Remove the four phillips head screws from the left or the right end cap and remove. Slide the lens and
circuit board assembly out of the case. Place the lens aside and carefully flip the circuit board assembly
over and lay it face down on a clean, smooth work surface. Locate position J2 on the left, upper side of the
back of the circuit board assembly (see figure 2, page 9). Lift the shunt straight up off the single pin of
position J2. Align the shunt to cover both pins of position J2 and press firmly into place. Slide the lens and
circuit board assembly back into the case, replace the end cap, and secure with the four phillips head
screws.
DDC4-RS
Remove the two phillips head screws from the left or the right end cap and remove. Slide the front panel
assembly out of the case. Carefully flip the front panel assembly over and lay it face down on a clean,
smooth work surface. Locate position J2 on the left, upper side of the back of the front panel. (See figure 2,
page 9) Lift the shunt straight up off the single pin of position J2. Align the shunt to cover both pins of
position J2 and press firmly into place. Slide the front panel display back into the case, replace the end cap
and secure with the two phillips head screws.
Note: Only the LAST clock on the line needs position J2 "closed". Leave all other clocks "open".
Battery Usage - DDC2 / DDC4 Series
Depending on the secondary selection type, the 9-Volt alkaline battery (not included) performs different
functions and may be required for proper operation.
DDC2/4-RS / DDC2/4-RS-24
When used as a secondary type clock the 9-Volt alkaline battery (not included) will retain the time that the
power failure occurred, although the display will go blank. When power is restored, correction signals from
the master clock will advance the wall clock to the proper time. When used as a secondary type clock in
systems that do not provide a 12-Hour correction signal, the 9-Volt alkaline battery (not included) is
required for proper operation. Without the 9-Volt alkaline battery (not included), the wall clock will reset to
12:00 AM after power resumes and will not receive the proper signal from the master clock to fully correct.
Digital Display Wall Clock Guide Page 8
When used as a RS485 clock, the master clock will send a signal to the wall clock every minute. The 9-
Volt alkaline battery (not included) is optional in these types of installations.

Mounting - DDC2 / DDC4 Series
The DDC Series Wall Clocks can be mounted directly to a wall, to a single gang outlet box, double hung
from the wall or double hung from the ceiling. When deciding where the clock will be mounted, keep in
mind that 115VAC power may be required depending on the installation type.
See page 14, figure 3.
Mounting to a Wall
Tools required for mounting the clock:
Drill with a 5/16" bit
Hammer
Phillips head screwdriver
Wall anchors
Pencil
DDC2
» After deciding the location where the clock will be mounted, make two marks 7" apart and
horizontal.
Note: If mounting near a ceiling, make sure the holes are at least 2 1/4" away from the ceiling.
Note: Make sure you have at least 10 1/2" of side clearance on one side in order to remove the lens and
circuit board assembly.
» Drill a 5/16" hole at each mark
» Insert a wall anchor in each hole and tap it flush to the wall with the hammer.
» Insert a screw into each wall anchor leaving 1/4" exposed.
» Remove the four phillips head screws from the left or the right end cap and remove. Slide the lens
and circuit board assembly out of the case and set aside.
» Line up the two keyholes on the back of the case and slip over the two screws and tighten
securely. ( The lower mounting holes can be marked at this point, the case removed, holes drilled
and wall anchors installed if so desired)
» Remove the desired vent cap that any required wiring will route through. (If the wiring will be
installed through the back-of-the-clock conduit access, route the fly leads of the clock's Cable
Harness Assembly from the interior of the clock through the hole in the Clock's rear plate. Use
wire nuts or crimp connectors to join these leads with the power and synch signal cable in the
gang box behind the clock to eliminate possible snagging when the circuit board assembly is
removed or replaced. If RS-485 signaling is used, attach the signal pair to the mini Terminal Block
Plug and pass the cable from behind the clock, through the hole into the clock's interior).
» Route the 6-position plug (and optional RS485 cable) to the circuit board assembly and attach.

Note: If mounting near a ceiling, make sure the top of the single gang box is at least 2 1/4" away from the
ceiling.
Note: Make sure you have at least 10 1/2" of side clearance on one side in order to remove the lens and
circuit board assembly.
» Remove the four phillips head screws from the left or the right end cap and remove. Slide the lens
and circuit board assembly out of the case and set aside.
» Remove the desired vent cap that any required wiring will route through. (If the wiring will be
installed through the back-of-the-clock conduit access, route the fly leads of the clock's Cable
Harness Assembly from the interior of the clock through the hole in the Clock's rear plate. Use
wire nuts or crimp connectors to join these leads with the power and synch signal cable in the
gang box behind the clock to eliminate possible snagging when the circuit board assembly is
removed or replaced. If RS-485 signaling is used, attach the signal pair to the mini Terminal Block
Plug and pass the cable from behind the clock, through the hole into the clock's interior).
» Line the two holes in the case up to the single gang box and insert proper screws for the single
gang box and tighten securely.
» Route the 6-position plug (and optional RS485 cable) to the circuit board assembly and attach.
» Slide the lens and circuit board assembly back into the case, replace the end cap and secure with
